Welcome to Beetles.mt.gov!

This interagency website is designed to provide
a comprehensive source of information on mountain pine beetle in Montana. Our
purpose is to provide a clearinghouse with the most accurate information
available from a variety of sources. On this site, you'll find information
on how to identify mountain pine beetles, beetle ecology, susceptible trees,
diagnosing beetle infestatons, removal of dead trees, and bark beetle management
options. Most importantly, all information on this site has been reviewed
by a panel of experts representing participating agencies, so you can be
confident that you are getting appropriate, accurate and timely information
about all things related to the mountain pine beetle.

Please check back frequently, as we are continually updating the website,
and have plans for more interactive features in the future!
